Llodra said the blog and public remarks by communications professor James Tracy are "wholly wrong, inconsiderate and insensitive" and that he would use this traumatic loss for "outlandish conspiracy theories" is "an insult to all caring people."

Tracy writes in a blog titled "Memory Hole," that the coverage of the shooting was "intended primarily for public consumption to further larger political ends." Tracy's lengthy assessment of the massacre is that it was a contrived event, and he suggests some survivors and families who spoke on camera were "crisis actors."

In a news release, Llodra said, "Shame on you, too, FAU, to even have someone like this on your payroll."

Tracy's voice mail in his college office said Thursday that it was "not accepting messages."

The university would not say whether he has been disciplined or removed from their faculty. The media relations office said the university does not comment on personnel matters.

FAU President Mary Jane Saunders did release a statement saying that Tracy's remarks about the Sandy Hook tragedy do not reflect the views of the university, "and I am personally saddened by any media stories that have added pain felt by the victims' families.

"FAU joins the entire nation and people around the world in feeling profound grief for the lives lost on that awful day," Saunders said of the shooting that resulted in the deaths of 20 first-graders, four teachers, the principal and a school psychologist. The gunman, Adam Lanza, also killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, before going to the school, and killed himself after his shooting spree.

"Our hearts break for the victims, their loved ones and friends, and all the people of Newtown," Saunders wrote. "The world lost innocent children and brave adults whose lives were dedicated to education. In the aftermath of this terrible tragedy, we learned of the tremendous heroism of the Sandy Hook teachers and administrators. We admire their courage in the face of unspeakable horror and we honor their memory."

Several residents and Newtown leaders asked about Tracy's remarks declined to be comment, aside from saying that to do so would be to give publicity to someone who deserves none. Beyond her official statement, Llodra said she would have no further comment as she has no desire to engage with "extremists."

"Professor Tracy is an embarrassment to me as an educator and should be to you (FAU) as well," Llodra said in her written statement. "I can assure you, sadly, that the events here in Newtown unfolded exactly as are being reported, with the horrible outcome of the violent death of 26 innocent people, including 20 children."

Llodra attended virtually all of those funerals, memorial services and calling hours.

"I ask that every media outlet and the university remove all such insensitive statements being made by Mr. Tracy," Llodra wrote. "Haven't these parents and the community been hurt enough?"
